directions as to raising higher or the
like. Beyond a glance Of recognition
10 Captain Bla'k, who came into the
room for u moment and said poor,
poor, fellow" there was nothing TO
break the horrible agony of the six
hours wait for death.
A deputy sheriff. story of the trsg-
edy is that at $40 a. m., everything
was quiet as usual in the jail. The
jailor entered shortly after, aud nstu-
rally his eyes were directed 10 the cell
door to see the prisoner Lingg. Lingg
was lying down on his cot aud csn-
die was burning on the table. A few
minutes after there was an explosion.
Deputies and jailor ran TO the cell
door. The prisoner W rs on the floor
and blood was over everything. Ply
siclans did all that was p Jssible and in
the terrible state he was Llugg sxist-
ed over six hours. Jailor Folse was
asked to explain the Way IN which
Lingg hsd kept his dynamite hid
from the keepers: Said he: "I have
two theories. Lingg had a very bushy
head OF hair. He may have placed
the cap in hls locks and kept II there
while We searched him last Sunday.
At that time he was stripped comple-
tely. My deputies searched al of his
clothing. Then again have theory
which l hardly like to speak about.
1 have known of Gases whe women
thieves have concealed their stolen
property in parts Of their persons
which 1t would be indelicate to specify
here. Lingg may have done the same
thing. OF course this is mere specula-
ton, but IL came 10 my mind while
studying up the various features of the
case. Lingg in some way became po
sessed of the dynamite cap. The cap
10 between one and half Inches long.
II Is made of copper and the outer end
ia plugged up with piece Of lead.
The copper for at least half an
in ch Is filled with dynamite,
then a small portion is filed with full
minsting powder. Into this powder
runs the fuse made Of braided cloth.
In my opinion Lingg while lying in
bed reached out his hand and took
from bis table the lighted candle,
then placed the Explosive in bis mouth
with the fuse outward and this he
placed tp the candle and his mortal
wound followed"
The elimination OF all on Friday
noon, when Spies, Parsons, Fischer
aud Engel paid the penalty aud a
wholesome fear OF the law restrained
any outward demonstration is sn act
which commends itself to all
law abiding American citizens.
The majesty OF the law must be re-
spected, even in free America, aud the
followin. presentation of the case in
an exchange meets the issue squsrely:
THE anarchist who proclaims all gov
eminent wrong, and who attempts TO
carry out his convictions by fUrce or
incites other meu to do ~, has little
cause for complaint when the great
majority OF the people, who do believe
in she present necessity OF govern
meut, endorses the sentence Of the
courts set up by the government for
the natural protection Of the members
thereof. The theory that every man
must protect his own person and drop.
eriy, and that all combinations for
mutual protection are wrong, is one
which begins in an unbalsnced mind
and ends in ssvsgely, aud anything
approaching Its actual enforcement
cannot he tolerated any more than
mad dog can be tolerated. The be
levers in such a theory should be set
upon some island where they could
carry out their ideas and where they
would prove them false by organizing
government, or where they would eat
each other up.n The Reds" must &c.
